I’m always looking for great cocktail spots, and I’ve found my top three favorites in Antwerp. Each place has its own special charm, whether it’s a cozy atmosphere or a unique drink menu.
Bar Giraffe: On Marnixplaats, you can’t miss Bar Giraffe run by sisters Hanan and Touba. I really love their cocktails and aperitif dishes—everything was delicious and beautifully presented! My favorite was the Aviation cocktail with violet liqueur. The interior is really cozy and they also have a funky terrace features marble tables and blue chairs. Plus, they offer some natural wines. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!
Marigold
Located on Vrijdagmarkt, Marigold has a cool, minimalist vibe that feels like New York. With vinyl records playing in the background, it’s a great spot to enjoy a perfectly crafted cocktail in a nostalgic setting.
Le Souffleur
For something different, check out Le Souffleur, a secret speakeasy bar perfect for a date night. The location is hidden and you need to make an appointment, adding a fun touch to your evening.
